Rene' Palmer Armstrong re-conceptualizes beauty and aesthetics beyond descriptive and narrative arrangements. Her mixed media works fuse painting techniques with sophisticated additions of dichroic glass, created by the aerospace program for the face-shield of astronauts’ helmets. The dichroic glass that the artist shapes into different sparkling designs is inserted over the canvas, which is then finished in flat, monochromatic metallic colors. The result is an appealing compound of visual splendor and magnificence. Her meticulous combination of pictorial techniques and the dichroic glass gives place to a unique and inventive result that excels beyond the tradition of modernist painting. Armstrong’s artistic approach points towards minimalism and non-objective art, defining her pictorial proposal with centrifugal linear shapes, and intermingling triangles and rectangles. It is a reflection of pure beauty and aesthetics. Her symbolic substratum connects with the invisibles of the universe and their cosmic resonances.​Milagros Bello, Ph.D.CuratorCurator's Voice Art ProjectsContemporary Art Gallery​​Rene's award-winning CANVAS & GLASS SERIES has been well received by galleries, and commercial and private collectors.
